Personal Pizza

Saturday night was movie night. My sister and I decided to watch the same movie, Coraline, on the same weekend...only 7,600 miles apart. The afternoon was so beautiful that I took the puppies to the Riverwalk and returned home starving and craving pizza. I found several easy pizza dough recipes on-line that were basically the same. I used these as a basis and crossed my fingers. On top I threw a plum tomato, some veggies, cheese, salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. The pizza went in a 500 degree F oven for twenty minutes. It came out piping hot and delish. It was perfect for movie night.

Cover and put in a warm place for 20-30 minutes until the dough doubles in size.

Shape and top. Cook 20 minutes at 500 degrees F.

The pizza was a decent size for one (I was stuffed). The movie was cool visually. I'm curious now to read the book it's based on. It seemed to have a lot of messages, some conflicting. The point that you can't judge things on face value was obvious. But there also seemed to be a theme about accepting things, even when they are obviously not ideal. This sounds like a mirror image in itself, but it quite subtly restricting.

But not so my personal pizza. It was whatever I wanted at the moment, which really is a great thing about cooking.
